57 years old, married, 2 children, two granddaughters, one grandson and soon a second :-)
After a first career as a computer technician-salesman for large companies, I became, since 25 years, a self-taught entrepreneur in the sports sector, passionate about tennis, training, personal development, innovation and new technologies.
I am a field player, manager of several clubs for which I develop projects and instill sports policy; I love learning at all levels: I give adult beginners' courses, cardio tennis courses and mental coaching on the court with several competitive players.
I also specialized in the use of new technologies by co-creating, 20 years ago, the first complete digital solution for registration, management and reservations specialized in sports to simplify the life of managers and boost their activities. In charge of sales and marketing, we have made it the Belgian market leader.
I help coaches, clubs and academies reveal their true purpose and unleash their full potential to make a world of difference in the quality of their teaching and significantly impact the growth of racket sports.
